Vancouver, BC - The British Columbia Lions have some decisions to make following the loss of quarterback Travis Lulay to a shoulder injury, as they host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in a West Division showdown at BC Place on Saturday night. Sean Rodriguez Jersey . Lulay, who missed time last season due to an injury on the same shoulder, will not be returning to the field any time soon which means the road to the postseason just got a little tougher for the Lions who are currently fourth in the highly-competitive West. You can catch all the action starting at 9pm ct/7pm pt on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4 and TSN5. Coverage also begins on TSN Radio 1290 Winnipeg starting at 8pm ct. Despite being held to single digits in the scoring column for the third time this year, the Lions still managed to come out on top last week, thanks in large part to the fact that the team was facing off against the expansion Ottawa RedBlacks who are still trying to find their way in 2014. Lulay completed 18-of-27 passes for 167 yards and was sacked twice in the 7-5 road victory. The signal caller also led the way on the ground with a game-high 50 yards, his longest run of 24 yards alone accounting for more than the RedBlacks produced the entire contest (16 yards). Kicker Paul McCallum.saved the day for BC with a pair of field goals, while Ricky Schmitt chipped in with a 69-yard field goal in the third quarter, accounting for the only points in the second half for either side. According to the depth chart for last weeks game, next in line for the passing responsibilities for the Lions is Kevin Glenn, the original starter this season for BC before the brief return of Lulay. The Illinois State product has thrown for more than 2,100 yards this season, but the former Blue Bomber has more interceptions (11) than touchdowns (nine), which was just part of the reason why he found his spot on the bench once it was determined that Lulay could get back on the field. As for Winnipeg, the last-place team in the West which with a record of 6-5 would be cruising along in first place if it were part of the East Division, it has lost two in a row and four of the last five following a 30-24 setback against Saskatchewan last weekend. The Bombers, who coincidentally knocked out quarterback Darian Durant for what could be the remainder of the regular season, followed signal caller Drew Willy who converted 26-of-38 passes for 360 yards and two TDs, but he was also picked off twice and sacked five times. Winnipeg put up 454 yards of total offense, compared to only 303 for the Riders, but the hosts could not get beyond the 13 penalties which cost them 158 yards. Running back Nic Grigsby, who hit the end zone on a 12-yard run in the first quarter, leads the league in rushing with 623 yards in this his rookie season out of Arizona, but he carried the ball just eight times as he amassed 66 net yards. One of the top scoring threats in the league, Grigsby has now posted majors in four consecutive games, five of the last six, and has eight TDs on the ground overall, not to mention one through the air while adding 39 receptions for another 341 yards. Winnipeg, which will host the Lions in the third and final meeting between the squads late next month, won the first matchup of 2014 by a score of 23-6 on the road back on July 25. In that contest, Glenn tossed a pair of interceptions and was sacked five times, all while the Lions were being hit with 14 penalties for a loss of 122 yards in front of the hometown crowd. Kicker Lirim Hajrullahu saved the day for the Blue Bombers as he knocked through all five of his field goal chances and finished with 16 points total for the visitors the first time around this season. While British Columbia saw its four-game win streak in the series come to an end, the Bombers watched their advantage in the series move to 84-75-2 in games played during the regular season and dating back to 1954. Chad Kuhl Jersey . As deep as their roster is, they need their superstar. Rose scored 23 points in his return from a five-game absence due to back pain, and Chicago hung on to beat the struggling Atlanta Hawks 90-79 on Monday. Jung-ho Kang Jersey . They never thought it would take some blood, too. Kevin Love grabbed his 4,000th career rebound as part of a 19-point, 13-board effort to lead the Timberwolves over the Utah Jazz 112-97 on Tuesday night. http://www.piratesrookiestore.com/ . Beckham says "nothing has been confirmed yet, but its something I am very excited about." He adds that "Miami is something that really excites me because there is a great energy down there. BOSTON -- Jacoby Ellsbury went to the New York Yankees. Jarrod Saltalamacchia is gone, too. The Boston Red Sox began rebuilding for their World Series title defence Wednesday when they signed free agent catcher A.J. Pierzynski to a one-year contract. "Its not every day you get a chance to play for the defending World Series champions. Looking at what they have coming back, theres definitely a chance to do it again," Pierzynski said in a conference call with reporters. "It was a place that you always want to go to because they win and they try to win every year. When they called, it was hard to say no." A two-time All-Star, Pierzynski will take over for the switch-hitting Saltalamacchia, who agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal with the Miami Marlins on Tuesday at about the same time the Yankees pried Ellsbury away from their rivals with a seven-year, $153 million contract. "We wish Jacoby well," general manager Ben Cherington said. "He was obviously a real good player here. He was a big part of two World Series teams and we would have loved to keep him. But we felt that there was an area or range that we were willing to go to, and the market just went past that." The best candidate to replace Ellsbury in the Red Sox system is Jackie Bradley Jr., who batted .189 in 37 games in the majors last year and .275 with 10 homers in 80 games at Triple-A Pawtucket. Cherington said it was too early to say whether there would be other candidates brought in through free agency or trade. "We feel good about some of the in-house alternatives, and one of those is certainly Jackie Bradley," Cherington said. "We feel fortunate that Jackie is in our organization, and we will feel good that he is playing centre field, if thats the way it works out." Pierzynski, who has played for four teams over parts of 16 seasons, said he talked to several former teammates who were on the Red Sox this year, including David Ortiz, Matt Thornton and Jake Peavy. He also bumped into Mark Kotsay while on vacation in Hawaii. "They all said, If you get an opportunity to come, youve got to take it," Pierzynski said. "Every person I talked to has had a positive experience there. I was grateful that Ben reached out and gave me an opportunity." Saltalamacchia had been a solid catcher in Boston. But his last play in a Red Sox uniform was the ill-advised throw to third base that led to the obstruction call against Will Middlebrooks, which gave the St. LLouis Cardinals a victory in Game 3 of the World Series. Custom Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys. David Ross took over, and the Red Sox went on to win the Series in six games -- their third title in 10 years. Both catchers were also a big part of the clubhouse chemistry that was helped erase the stigma of the fried chicken and beer collapse of 2011. Pierzynski has a mixed reputation in baseball -- including a conflict with Peavy that the two say is long behind them -- but his own teammates usually defend him. "(He has) the reputation across the field of not being the best guy," Boston manager John Farrell said on WEEI-AM. "But there are guys you get that feel from across the field and then when they get in your dugout, you love him. He was on board with everything. The bottom line is he wants to do nothing more than one thing: win." Pierzynski, a left-handed hitter, and Ross, a righty, will both be 37 next season. The Red Sox have two catching prospects in the minor leagues, Christian Vazquez in Triple-A and Blake Swihart in Single-A. "What were looking at is a short-term situation that really points toward Vazquez and Swihart, that are coming," Farrell said. "That doesnt mean that in 2015 Vazquez is a starter, but it gives us the flexibility that if he makes another good step in the minors the next year, its the potential that a guy could step in." Cherington also said his goal was to make the 2014 team stronger without hindering flexibility in the future, an outlook that made a one-year deal for a veteran catcher more attractive than the three years Saltalamacchia got. "We really appreciate everything he did," Cherington said. "If reports are accurate, were happy for him that he gets a good deal. We wish him well, but we feel like A.J. is the right fit for us right now." Pierzynski batted .272 with 17 homers and 70 RBIs last season with Texas -- the 13th season in a row in which hes caught at least 110 games. In his career with the Twins, Giants, White Sox and Rangers, Pierzynski is a .283 hitter with 172 homers and 800 RBIs, with a .322 average in 33 games at Fenway Park. "The combination of A.J. and Ross will allow that to be a position of strength for us, as it was this year," Cherington said. Pierzynski has caught two no-hitters, including Philip Humbers perfect game April 21, 2012. He made the All-Star Game in 2002 and 06 and won the World Series with the White Sox in 2005. He has a .300 career average with five homers and 17 RBIs in the post-season.
